In order to obtain the answer to the question
whether there is any infinite path in the union of all finite trees

in the union of all finite lines of the EIT)


No. Lines go across, columns go down, paths go down. The question
"is there any infinite
path in the union of all finite trees?" is the same as the question
"is there any infinite column in the EIT?".
Since the EIT contains an infinite number of lines, the answer is yes.
